6207.99.85.10 - Sleepwear (651)

This HTS category, 6207.99.85.10, specifically classifies sleepwear for men and boys that is not knitted or crocheted, and is made of man-made fibers, excluding specific other textile materials. This encompasses items such as pajamas, nightshirts, and dressing gowns designed for sleep or lounging, crafted from synthetic or artificial fibers like polyester, nylon, or rayon. The defining characteristic is its construction from man-made fibers, distinguishing it from sleepwear made from natural fibers or other textile blends not falling under the "other textile materials" umbrella.

The sibling category, 6207.99.85.20, also falls under "Of other textile materials: Of man-made fibers," but it is designated as "Other" with a different numerical suffix. This implies that 6207.99.85.10 is a more granular classification for a specific type of sleepwear within the broader "other man-made fiber" subcategory, likely based on a particular construction, finishing, or a more precise definition of "sleepwear" as indicated by the "(651)" appended to its description. The distinction hinges on precisely which items are captured by the "(651)" designation versus the general "Other" classification under 6207.99.85.20.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, classification within 6207.99.85.10 relies entirely on meeting all preceding criteria: being men's or boys' sleepwear not knitted or crocheted, composed of man-made fibers, and not fitting into any more specific material or item classifications that might be indicated by the "(651)" suffix. Careful consideration of the garment's intended use for sleep or lounging and its predominant fiber content is paramount for correct classification under this heading.
